Petraeus: Iraqi Leaders Not Making 'Sufficient Progress'

Show of hands of those thinking another 3 trillion will help? Maybe if we actually blanket Iraq in dollar bills we might at last call it home...

One can dream.

You forget; finding training grounds for soldiers to learn the skills they need for the forth coming mythical war is never cheap. You know the war that we are developing all this high-tech weaponry to fight with in. We just need to work out who our real enemies are because with the USSR it was easy but you can't fight a terrorist with a tank but for some reason we are still developing tanks for this future conflict in which we play the part of good guys against an as yet uncertain bad guy.

More "progress":

quote:

WASHINGTON - Al-Qaida is in Iraq to stay, according to military leaders and other officials.

It's not a conclusion the White House talks about much when denouncing the shadowy group, known as al-Qaida in Iraq, that used the U.S. invasion five years ago to develop into a major killer.

The militants are weakened, battered, perhaps even desperate, by most U.S. accounts. But far from being "routed," as Defense Secretary Robert Gates claimed last month, they're still there, still deadly active and likely to remain far into the future, military and other officials told The Associated Press.

Just arm a lot of people there.
If anyone tried to invade the U.S. with all the guns we have in this country they wouldn't last long.

Saddam required every household to have a gun in iraq, how do you explain our easy take over?
